Lisa Thiesssen Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hi, While cleaning the lint from my machine today I got my lint brush caught in the bobbin area. Yes, I was (stupidly) running the oil in the bobbin at the time. The machine blinked off - I got all the bristles out of the area, but now the machine won't even turn on. Have I blown my circuit board? I've unplugged everything, and replugged it all in, but there is absolutely no response when I turn it on. The machine is totally dead. Anyone know what I can do? I've left a message with APQS, but of couse it is Saturday. Things like this never happen at 9 am on a Monday. Any ideas? L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryRogers Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Lisa You more then likely blew a fuse. Under the power cord is a spare. Unplug the head and open up the little door. Remove the dead one and replace it with the spare. Make SURE your bobbin case does not have any leftover brush material around it, wash the area down with WD40, oil and test. Call me if I can help further. 206 412-4720 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Thiesssen Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Dear Sherry - Thank you so much! Everything is back up and running (I'm going to double check my timing, etc., before I really get going). I can't express how much I appreciate your prompt response and gentle help on the phone. You really are a class act. With respect, Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Lisa; You can buy replacement fuses at Radio Shack p/n 270-1068. The first one I changed I couldn't get the little drawer back in. I then discovered one corner had a bevel and the drawer only goes in 1 way. I should have had my 4 year old granddaugher put it in for me. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Thiesssen Posted August 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hi Mark and John, Thank you for taking the time to take a peek at my posting. This board is a tremedous asset! I've been helped here before, and I know that I'm not the only one. By the way, that little burned out fuse is sitting in my wallet, waiting to go with me to find a replacement - it's a long weekend here in BC, and in our little town nothing is open except the restaurants until tomorrow. You can bet I'll be looking for a fuse tomorrow, bright and early! All the best, Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
